Ok, onto the hopping :)
This is a "Desert" Diva Celebration!!
Here is the project that I have created for this hop...
For my A2 sized card, I used my Cricut as well as my Silhouette. My cactus came from the OLE' cricut cartridge and was cut out at 1.39"x 2.25" (CCR). My coyote howling came from the Silhouette online store and is design ID # 11413. For my sand, I simply took some kraft cardstock and tore it into strips and layered them on top of each other. My moon was cut out of a scrap piece of yellow cardstock using a 1 3/8" circle punch. The coyote is popped up with some foam adhesive to give my card a little more dimension.
I decided to also make a little jar of candies to go along with my card. I simply altered a frappe jar by wrapping some cardstock around the middle of my jar. My cactus for the jar was cut from the OLE' cricut cartridge at 2.25" x 2.25". I ran it through my cuttlebug with the swiss dots embossing folder and then lightly ran an ink pad over the top so that the "bumps" were a different color to give it some dimension. The flowers on my cactus are from a fiskars flower punch. I simply layered some flowers on top of each other and then attached them to my cactus. I finished the jar off with some green tulle and some brown and white bakers twine around the bottle neck. The jar is filled with some dark green chocolate candy sixlets.
Here is a picture of both items together:
I think it came out so cute yet masculine. I already gave it to my hubby as a little surprise and he loved it!
Then again, he loves candy! lol!
Speaking of candy, I have a little of my own candy to give away.
I will be giving the following 6x6 paper pack away to one lucky follower of my blog:
